Directions: Mix crust together with a hand blender in a medium sized bowl. Place approx 1 tsp of crust dough into pre-greased mini muffin tin (or use 1 T of crust in a regular muffin tin). Press down to create a mini crust making sure the crust comes up on the sides a bit. Add filling, filling the tin about half only, and top with jam and chocolate or carob chips. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Makes 24 mini cups.

Note. You can also experiment by putting the jam on top of the crust but before the filling layer. I would suggest not mixing the jam into the filling though because the taste sort of gets lost in all of the other ingredients.

The crust turned out absolutely delicious. I think this is one of the best tasting crusts I have ever made!

In the photo above, I used a mini tart pan. I think this was my favourite size, although the mini ones were super cute.

These tasted out of this world delicious!!! I am seriously addicted. They make such a fun breakfast treat on days when you just aren’t feeling the regular stuff or when you want to make something special on the weekend. When they bake in the oven the whole house smells just wonderful too! Just delicious.

Angela,
Okay, so I made these PB&J Glo bites like I said I was gonna do today and boy were they yummy!!!!
It is amazing to me how you can conjure of all of these recipes and they all come out to die for !!!!!!!
? is there anyway to post my pic instead of it showing a turkey or whatever that creature is :))))HaHa

Oh wow those look great! Thanks for the inspiring idea! Have you made chickpea patties? I made them for the first time last night and they were fab. They were a vegan recipe (I’m not vegan nor vegetarian).

Those look fantastic! I’m starving right now (but holding out until after my morning run to eat). I wish I had one of those for a post-run snack!

I’ve not yet tried chia seeds. I was incredibly intrigued after reading Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run (if you haven’t read it, I strongly suggest you do–it’s an ode to the love of running!). Anyway, I look forward to trying them.

I would love Chia seeds! I am hoping to order some along with kelp noodles, a spiralizer and a nut bad from therawfoodworld.com but if I win, I might not have to just yet!

I am slowly transitioning to raw and vegan, and your website is such an inspiration to me. I have always had weight issues, body image issues and disordered eating, so this is my way of turning all that around. I great such great recipes and ideas from you! Keep it up!

Mmm, peanut butter and jelly….. would you believe that my boyfriend JUST realized how good they were together? He’d gone his whole childhood convincing himself he didn’t like it – but he never gave it a chance! Sillysilly! It would be awesome to win the chia seeds – they are so pricey!

Too funny! I just barley wrote an entire post on Peanut Butter this morning on nono2yoyo ..what a coinsidence! I am MORE than excited to try your recipie! I love peanut butter so much and pb and j’s are my fav! I love learning about healthier peanut butter options and trying them out. Not only do they look delicious they are so cute! Thanks!! natalie

Oh my goodness Angela those look DELICIOUS! I definitely don’t have all the ingredients needed, but I’m taking a trip to Whole Foods this weekend and the bulk bins there will definitely do me good in this case ;) I MUST make them.

I’d love some chia seeds – never tried em’ but have heard such good things :)

my comment got sent before I was finsihed writing…soone more thing… I have been meaning to write you an email or a comment and tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I think I commented on a post a while back but other than that i’ve kinda sucked at expressing how much I enjoy what i read. I have been reading your blog for the past six months and I can’t tell you how much your attitute and perspective have helped me in my progression with the changes I have and am continuting to make in my life. Your thought processes have helped me rationalize and understand what is “normal” and how to think about things. I know the purpose you do this blog is to help people just like me…and I want you to know that you have and do. You have inspired me to start my own blog and hopefully help motivate people just like me. I wanted to thank you for your support…although you don’t even know I exist your words and postiive attitude have helped me so much. Thank you for all you do!

Those bites look really good. I *just* bought chia seeds for the first time. My hubby’s good cholesterol is low, so I’m lookin’ to boost his omega-3’s. (Truthfully, I think it’s genetic…it was low 5 years ago too, and we’ve gone much more in the way of vegan/vegetarian since then.)

I used to work at DQ in high school and there was this customer who always ordered a “peanut butter and jam milkshake” which was essentially peanut butter and strawberries with the milk and ice-cream, but I always got a kick out of it :-)

Happy Thursday! I’m currently reading “Born To Run” by Christopher McDougall, it’s about the Tarahumara (or Raramuri, which means “the running people”) and they fully believe in Chia Seeds (as well as ultramarathon running). Before your blog and this book I hadn’t really heard or known much about Chia Seeds. The Tarahumara brew them into a drink and consume this drink all the time, giving them immense stamina and endurance! I’m super excited to try Chia seeds so I hope I get picked! Thank you for all of the great info you provide on your site, I really enjoy it!

My sister has been using chia seeds, including your pudding, as a way of dealing with years of bowel issues and it works! A 3lb bag would go a LONG way as she only takes a tbsp a day!
If only you could mail out tarts :)

I made the PB&J pie from Have Cake Will Travel and it is dangerous! I have vowed to never make it again unless I am going to take it somewhere for other people to eat – otherwise I’ll eat the whole thing!

Would love to try the chia seeds! Have not found them yet in my area! Your glo-bites look amazing and can’t wait to try them! I found your blog through a co-worker recently and find myself inspired to pick up my running shoes again and to clean up my diet! Best of luck in your runs!

Wowza, my mouth is watering! My toddler will love those bites, and it’ll make breakfast time easier all around. Thanks for the recipe! (and maybe I’ll throw some chia seeds into her smoothie as well!).

OOOH! I’ve been dying to try chia seeds but have been put off because of the cost. I’d be so excited to win so I could finally try that holiday chia pudding that looks so amazing! Thank you for the giveaway!

These look delicious! I can’t wait to try out this recipe, along with many other creations of yours that I have written down but have yet to try…I’ll get there! Thank you as always for the inspiration!

I only JUST tried the PB&J combo for the first time about a month ago. I know. For some reason growing up, my dad always made PB and honey sandwiches. Anyways, ever since that first tasting I’ve been obsessed!! SO good! Guess I just gotta make up for lost time :P

I think those would make a great dessert too! When my husband and I were dating, I saw him mix just peanut butter and jam and eat it with a spoon. I thought it was crazy at first, now I do it too! PB&J is such a good combo, so is PB& dark chocolate!!

Yay for more Chia seeds giveaway. I love to add them to everything. As always, you baking/cooking skills are phenomenal. Have you considered publishing your own cook book? Maybe an e-book to start off with?

Yum! I love peanut butter/almond butter and jelly on anything!!! (graham crackers, waffles, pancakes, cookies, bananas, ect ect ect…) And I would love to try chia seeds soon but don’t know where to find them where I live!

i just made these and they are delicious!! i had to add a little more earth balance to get the crust to stick together a bit more. How do you get them out the muffin tin? i used a 12 cup muffin tin and i sprayed it with oil hoping this would help me get them out…..but the crust did stick to the tin and didn’t come out clean. how could one over come this? would silicone cups help?

I just found this website from a co-worker and I am in love! I am going off to the store to get some materials needed for this recipe and others- I will check in to let you know how it went but the pics look great! So excited and thanks!!!
